Lady Wan Guan

Chapter 362 Title on the Gold List
Early the next morning, Jiang Maochun and Jiang Ji put on simple clothes and went with Jiang Shi to meet Lin Ruoruo's uncle and aunt.

There is no need to hide Jiang Maochun's intentions like this. It doesn't matter if he gives Ruoruo's uncle and aunt more money.

Anyway, the most important thing for the Jiang family is money.

But Jiang Wanning insisted, and Jiang Maochun had to accompany him and pretend to be poor for a while.

Xiang Zhenye and the Jiang Lin family did not dare to cause trouble again, so they accepted the eighty-tael betrothal gift and honestly issued a marriage certificate under the witness of the government.

He also politely told Jiang Shi that if he contacted her more often in the future, he might have the opportunity to accompany Ruoruo back to Jiangcheng.

Jiang Shi said lukewarmly: "I won't be going back for the time being. My uncle and aunt have a good trip, and I'm going to go back to my employer."

Xiang Zhenye and others were sent back on the carriage.

Back at Jiang's house, Jiang Maochun called Lin Ruoruo over, gave her a box and a big box, and said with a smile: "Ruoruo, these are the betrothal gifts given to you by the Jiang family. Keep them yourself, the Jiang family's wife." , I treat them all equally, if there is something for the eldest daughter-in-law, the second daughter-in-law, you must have it too."

Sister-in-law Feng Shi also gave her a box: "Here are some jewelry and fifty thousand taels of silver notes to give you some makeup."

Second sister-in-law Qiao said: "I also have a share of this to add makeup to you."

Lin Ruoruo was so stupid that she was given 50,000 taels for adding makeup?
This was something she, a poor person, could not imagine.

Jiang Shi took it for her: "Thank you, sister-in-law, second sister-in-law."

Only then did Lin Ruoruo react: "Thank you two sisters-in-law."

"Ruoruo, this is mine." Jiang Wanning also gave a makeup gift.

"open to take a look."

Lin Ruoruo opened the box hesitantly and saw that it was the business contract of Sanxitang. Her name was clearly written on the business contract, and she was shocked: "How can this happen?"

Jiang Wan Ning smiled: "When I opened the medicine hall, I used the name Sanxitang, and I planned to give Sanxitang to you in the future. I never told you. In fact, the earliest business contract said it was yours. name."

Lin Ruoruo couldn't help but wet her eyes. When Mrs. Jiang used the name of Sanxitang to open a medicine hall and gave her a share, she couldn't tell how touched and happy she was. Even if the medicine hall was not hers, she regarded Sanxitang as her own. The medicine hall is run diligently.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Jiang had already given her Sanxitang as a gift.

Looking at the friendly smiling faces, Lin Ruoruo's heart was filled with a feeling called touching and happiness.

Gu Zhouting drank too much last night and had a headache when he woke up in the morning, but he still handled government affairs conscientiously in the cabinet.

The Ministry of Rites sent a list of Qiu Wei's names.

Gu Zhouting opened the page and saw Shangguan Zhaoyang, who was ranked third. He couldn't help but feel refreshed. You Zhaoyang, you really didn't disappoint.

Continuing to look down, Yan Hui also entered the top ten, ranking ninth.

Song Heng was in the middle, followed closely by Chen Pingzhang.

Du Qianyuan hung his tail.

Very good, almost everyone he likes is on the list.

"Bring the roster and the papers of the scholars who entered Yijia to the Crown Prince for review. If the Crown Prince thinks there is no problem, we will publish the list tomorrow."

The eunuch immediately sent the roster and papers to the East Palace.

Gu Zhouting called Mo Yu again.

"What are your orders, sir?"

Gu Zhou paused and opened his mouth, but decided to save this surprise until tomorrow.

Let Zhaoyang feel the joy of seeing his name on the list.

"Forget it, it's okay."

The subordinate came to report: "My lord, General Hussar wishes to see you."

Ji Yunchen is here.

"Let him in."

This was the first time Ji Yunchen walked into Gu Zhouting's cabinet duty room.

"I think the duty room in the cabinet is not as spacious as the one in Dali Temple." Ji Yunchen said.

"Has Beida camp been sorted out?"

"No, I've been busy for several days, and I'm finally able to go out and walk around. No, I'll come see you as soon as possible."

"How does it feel to be the prime minister? I think you don't look very good. You must have a lot of troubles."

Gu Zhouting smiled lightly: "There are no bad things. It's just a severe drought on Xijiang Road, floods on Jiangnan Road, Linzhou River bursting its embankments, and Yizhou bandits running rampant..." Ji Yunchen clicked his tongue: "It's a troubled autumn."

"Of course there are good things."

"What a good thing, it makes me happy too."

"Zhaoyang won and ranked third."

Ji Yunchen just picked up the tea cup and took a sip. He almost choked and was so surprised: "Seriously?"

"The roster has been sent to the East Palace. If nothing unexpected happens, that's it."

Ji Yunchen slapped his leg: "This boy is too ambitious. No, I have to go to the Zhenbei Hou Mansion immediately."

"Don't go, don't go. Let him look at the list tomorrow."

Ji Yunchen thought about it and said with a smile: "Then let this surprise stay for one more day."

"There's one more thing."

"Wait." Ji Yunchen took a deep breath and prepared himself for the surprise.

"You said."

Gu Zhou stopped and said, "Wan Ning's father and brother came to the capital. They arrived yesterday."

"Ah? Then... we have to show our appreciation and at least treat them to a meal."

"Yesterday I gave them a clean slate."

"Why didn't you call me?" Ji Yunchen was outraged.

Gu Zhou stopped and said, "What do I want you to do?" Then what should his future son-in-law do?

"There will be a celebration banquet for Zhaoyang tomorrow. Can you be the host and invite the Jiang family as well?"

Ji Yunchen glared at him and said angrily: "You made arrangements for me clearly."

"If you don't invite me, I will."

Ji Yunchen gritted his teeth and said, "I beg you."

Must please.

Before the conversation here was finished, the East Palace responded with a message, saying that the list would be made according to the ranking on the roster.

Now Shangguan Zhaoyang's third place is confirmed.

The next day is the day for posting the list.

Jiang Wanning accompanied Shangguan Zhaoyang and Chen Pingzhang to look at the list.

To be honest, she felt a little unsure.

Normally, Gu Zhouting must have known what the results were before the results were released, but Gu Zhouting didn't go to her yesterday because he was afraid that she would ask if Zhaoyang had failed the test.

This is really an injustice to Gu Zhouting. Gu Zhouting is really busy with government affairs and wants to take care of everything so that he can free up time today.

"I'm so nervous. What should I do if I fail?" Chen Pingzhang was so stressed that he didn't even sleep last night because he was afraid that he would fail the exam and lose face to the Chen family.

"Be normal, I'll take the exam next time at worst." Shangguan Zhaoyang said it calmly, but he was also nervous in his heart.

"Madam, Mr. Song is over there." Xiao Pan had good eyesight and saw Song Heng.

Shangguan Zhaoyang waved to Song Heng: "Song Heng, this way."

Song Heng passed through the crowd and first greeted Jiang Wanning, then Zhaoyang and Chen Pingzhang.

After Qiu Wei ended, Jiang Wanning went to ask Song Heng how he did in the exam, and Song Heng said he was sure.

But today I saw him with two big dark circles under his eyes.

No matter how confident it seemed, I felt guilty without seeing my name on the list with my own eyes.

Dang-dang-dang-dang, the official beat the gong and shouted: "Let's make a list."

The official posted the red notice on the wall.

As soon as the red list was posted, people crowded in front of it.

It was not convenient for Jiang Wan Ning to squeeze in, so she had to wait outside.

After a moment, he heard An He shouting loudly: "The young man is on the list, the young man is on the list..."
